Mesa Theater

Grand Junction, an important regional center in western Colorado, combines a lively events scene with the distinctive landscapes of the American West. The city is an attractive destination for visitors attending concerts, sporting competitions and other events, with notable venues including the Las Colonias Amphitheater along the Colorado River and the Lincoln Park Sports Complex, home to Stocker Stadium and Suplizio Field. A varied selection of restaurants, bars, shops and accommodation makes it easy to combine an event with a shorter or longer stay in the city.

Getting around the city is supported by Grand Valley Transit (GVT), the public bus system connecting Grand Junction with other communities across the Grand Valley. Travelers arriving by air use Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT), while rail connections are provided by the Grand Junction Amtrak Station near the city center. The combination of public transportation, the road network and the location of the city's main facilities makes it easier to plan journeys to concert and sports venues, including Las Colonias Amphitheater, Stocker Stadium and Suplizio Field.

Before or after an event, it is worth exploring Main Street in Downtown Grand Junction, known for its shops, restaurants, galleries and numerous sculptures and murals. Parks and the Riverfront Trail extend along the Colorado River, while the city lies in the area where the Colorado and Gunnison River meet. For an even more striking view of western Colorado's landscape, Colorado National Monument is located immediately beside the Grand Junction area and offers distinctive canyons, rock formations and panoramic scenery that can complete a trip centered around a concert or sporting event.
